VEGGIE PILAF
My recipe for fragrant, veg-packed pilaf is good for you, easy to make and absolutely delicious - what's not to love? Chickpeas add a bit of bite to the pilaf and their fibre content will keep you feeling nice and full. Meanwhile, pepitas are packed with masses of minerals, including iron, which helps you grow healthy nails and hair, and magnesium, which is good for muscle function.

Steps:
- Peel the onion and finely slice with the garlic, then peel and halve the carrot lengthways and finely slice at an angle. Pick the parsley leaves and put aside, then finely chop the stalks. Drain the chickpeas.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, wide, non-stick pan on a medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and parsley stalks, along with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then cook gently with the lid on for 10 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Pour 300ml of water into a small pot, then add the stock concentrate and bring to a simmer over a medium heat.
- When the vegetables have softened, add the turmeric. Then add the rice. Finely grate in the lime zest and squeeze in the juice, stirring regularly.
- Roughly chop and add the apricots along with the chickpeas, then pour in the hot stock. Bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes, then cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat down to medium-low and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Turn off the heat and leave the pan to one side, with the lid on.
- Meanwhile, put a medium non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, scatter in the pepitas and toast until lightly golden.
- Decant the yoghurt into a small bowl. Make the harissa into a paste with 2 teaspoons of water, then swirl through the yoghurt.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork, then divide between plates. Sprinkle the pepitas over the pilaf, then finely chop and scatter over the parsley. Serve with spoonfuls of the spicy yoghurt.

Steps:
- Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and soak in water for 30 minutes. If you've got the time soak for up to 2 hours. The longer you soak, the more tender the rice.
- Heat the ghee or butter over medium heat in a 10-inch skillet. Add the onions and sauté them for 3 -4 minutes until they turn translucent. Add the turmeric, sumac powder, cranberries, and salt. Allow the cranberries to cook for 1 minute, then add the sugar, along with 2 tablespoons of water so the onions and cranberries can soak up the sugar. Allow to cook for 3 minutes or until the cranberries soak up all the liquid, turn off the stove and remove from heat.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil (see notes). Drain the rice and add to the boiling water and cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until al dente. Drain the rice and rinse under cool running water to stop cooking; drain. Pour the tablespoon of olive oil into the base of the same pot. Add the rice and pour the saffron water over the rice evenly. Top with the cranberry mixture and the pistachios. Wrap the lid of the pot with a thin kitchen towel and cover the pot. This helps build steam to help cook the rice through. Cook the rice on high for 3 minutes, then turn the heat down to super-low and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Turn off heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

PERSIAN RICE PILAF
A very fruity version of rice pilaf that makes an excellent companion to the 16th century recipe for Recipe #124579. It should be started before the chicken, so they are ready at the same time.

Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
- Add cinnamon stick, cloves, cracked peppercorns, cardamom seeds, and juniper berries.
- Add two cups of basmati or other long-grain rice, slowly, so the water doesn't stop boiling. Cook for about eight to ten minutes, stirring from time to time to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom, until the rice is just barely done.
- Pour everything into a strainer or colander and let the rice drain. Leave the spices in the rice.
- While the rice is boiling, chop the dried fruit. Throw the fruit on top of the rice draining in the colander.
- Thinly slice one-half of a large onion and sauté it until golden in 5T of unsalted butter with several pinches of saffron or one teaspoon of turmeric.
- While onions are cooking, grease a round casserole with a bit of butter and turn the spiced rice and fruit into a large bowl.
- Turn the golden onions into the bowl and mix everything up.
- Spoon the mixture into the casserole and pat the rice firmly in place with the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle 3 Tbsp of melted butter over the top and cover with two thicknesses of aluminum foil and seal the edges well. Add a lid if your casserole has one. Set the casserole in a preheated 350°F oven and let it bake for an hour.
- Then remove it from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes or so before removing the foil and unmolding it onto a platter. (Lay the platter on top of the rice and, using a thick dishcloth or potholders, flip the thing over).
- Surround with the Persian chicken.
JEWELED PERSIAN RICE PILAF
This gloriously flavored and fabulously beautiful Jeweled Persian Rice Pilaf makes the most superb side dish. The basmati rice is soft and fluffy and cooked in stock to give it a great depth of flavor. It is lightly spiced with cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom, then finished with cranberries, lemon, and pistachio. This makes a wonderful side for lamb and chicken. Or serve it with fish for something a little bit different. If you are new to Iranian food this is a great place to start.
